It is called the drug dealers approach to marketing...
i.e. first you give it away for free...and get loads of people hooked...and once you have loads of people using it...then you start to zing people by taking stuff away unless they upgrade and start paying for it.
FYI...if you think that is bad....get a load of the so called "improvements" Bravenet just implemented a couple of weeks ago on their forums (some of us still have old forums on our personal sites using Bravenet)...and their latest great "improvement" is...you cannot post any messages longer than about 3 short paragraphs now...unless you upgrade to buy their premium service...so now it is impossible to have long debates or dissertations or to post stories on Bravenet...you can only type in short messages (which is unbearable for a blabbermouth like me)...so this message I just typed...could not even be typed on the current version of Bravenet forums....thank goodness Nigel came along and saved us from being stuck with Bravenet.

In reply to Message (5037) Just 1 more reason to hate Yahoo
By WETINRED - stekz@cableone.net Thu 31/07/03 16:16:42 GMT Just received this email: Dear Yahoo! Groups Moderator,
IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are receiving this notice because you are a moderator of one or more groups. As part of our efforts to ensure that all Yahoo! Groups users enjoy the same high-quality service, we will implement the following service changes on Aug. 7, 2003:
- Message Attachments: Yahoo! Groups will continue to deliver all attachments sent via email, however, the attachments will no longer be archived within the Messages area. You may continue to upload files and images to the Files and Photos areas of your groups. Please re-upload any attachments you would like to preserve to the Photos or Files areas of your group. On Aug. 7, all attachments in the Messages area will be removed, and Yahoo! will be unable to retrieve such data.
- Add Members: The "Add Members" feature will now allow you to add 10 new members per day (e.g., the ability to directly add your friends and family to your group). You may still use the "Invite Members" feature to invite others to join your group.
- Files and Photos: Groups web membership will be required to access a group's Files and Photos areas.
Thank you for your support as we make these changes that will allow us to continue offering a compelling, high quality, free service.
All which means u better grab the southern charms attachments b4 they dissapear. I really don't understand what they're gonna be doing. They say they're still accepting attachments, but they won't be archived. So what does that mean, I can post attachments but 2 or 3 days later it dissapears? Fk if I know! Yes Graham I am working on my html now , more than ever! lol
